Because of you, we now have flexible seating options, a fully equipped calm corner, and a wooden mailbox organizer that has transformed how our classroom functions each day.\r\n\r\nThe flexible seating has quickly become a favorite among my students. They absolutely love sitting on the cushions and colorful adjustable floor seats, and I've already noticed how these choices help them feel more comfortable and engaged during lessons. The calm corner has also become an essential space in our classroom. Students now have a safe, supportive area where they can reset, get back on track, and return ready to focus and learn.\r\n\r\nAdditionally, the wooden mailbox organizer has brought a new level of organization and independence to our daily routines. Students now clearly know where to find their materials and how to keep everything in its proper place from day to day. Your generosity has not only provided us with supplies, but has also helped create a more structured, supportive, and student-centered classroom.

My students walked into school asking if we were going to do another experiment! They love to explore, and I love that science projects engage every student—no matter their level of English proficiency.\r\n\r\nWith each project, students used their science notebooks to write a hypothesis, draw and label their experiment, and record a conclusion. In one experiment, they predicted whether a lemon could power a stopwatch. They were fascinated to discover the results—and even brought in foods and condiments from home to test whether electricity could travel through them using copper and zinc plates!\r\n\r\nAfter making predictions and drawing conclusions, students practiced academic science vocabulary by retelling each experiment step by step. These hands-on activities not only heightened engagement, but also strengthened their speaking, reading, and writing skills in English.\r\n\r\nThank you for giving me the opportunity to bring these experiments into my classroom and make learning English meaningful, interactive, and fun!","fullyFundedDate":1763589834925,"projectUrl":"project/learn-science-vocabulary-though-hands-on/9903861/","projectTitle":"Learn Science Vocabulary Though Hands-On Activities","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Baitzel","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8806560_orig.jpg?crop=2326,2326,x56,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1714743706386","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8806560"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_81427","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":397,"numTeachers":40,"percentFrplEligible":63,"percentAsian":1,"percentBlack":47,"percentWhite":10,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":34,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"9.9:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":66.7,"schoolId":81427,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Parkway Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Parkway Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/new-jersey/ewing-township-public-schools/parkway-elementary-school/81427"}
